Best Landmarks & Things to Do in Perth

Perth's landmarks centre on Kings Park, one of the largest inner-city parks on earth, with its botanic gardens, treetop walkway and state war memorial overlooking the Swan River. Elizabeth Quay, the Bell Tower, Perth Mint and the cultural centre around the Art Gallery of WA fill out a compact, sunny city catalogue. Rankings below are driven by visitor review data.

The highest-rated landmarks in Perth are led by Kings Park and Botanic Garden (4.8/5 from 28,550 reviews), Elizabeth Quay (4.6/5 from 22,102 reviews) and Yagan Square (4.3/5 from 4,606 reviews). The Art Gallery of Western Australia | AGWA and The Bell Tower round out the top five. These rankings are calculated from review counts and average ratings, which means the order reflects where visitors actually go and what they genuinely recommend — not paid placement or promotional copy.

The Perth catalogue spans 5 categories, with attractions, parks and gardens, museums, bridges featuring most prominently. This mix shapes how you might structure a visit: category pages let you compare Perth's attractions against similar landmarks across Western Australia and the rest of Australia, so if you enjoy one of the city's attractions, you can instantly find more like it.

Beyond the famous names, Perth holds some under-visited standouts. Cathedral Square (4.7/5 from 128 reviews), Perth Digital Tower (4.3/5 from 56 reviews) and Perth Waterfront (4.8/5 from 11 reviews) all earn strong ratings from a smaller pool of reviewers — the kind of places locals rate highly but most itineraries skip. If you have already covered the top five, these are where the city's quieter rewards hide.

Fremantle, Margaret River and Broome each have their own catalogued landmark lists on this site, and the state ranking shows where Perth's best attractions sit against the whole of Western Australia.
